International student Angie Ling received a Dean's Merit Scholarship in the Creative Industries faculty.real experiences

The University offers great support to students while they’re living away from home. I wanted a unique degree that will give me the recognition and credibility the working world seeks. QUT’s Creative Industries is the first faculty of its type in the world and I wanted a refreshing new experience– that’s why I chose QUT.
